Just noticed that CC has just released v3.22 for their CastleLink and v3.0 for the Phoenix.  Stay tuned.

Gentleman,
It looks like Castle has done their homework.  Very little difference between v3.13/v2.13 and the latest v3.22/v3.0.

As a reminder each version was bench tested on my Resolve EP using a 10x7 APCE cut down from 11 inches.  I find that this prop comes very close to the same load while flying.  Both versions were run using the same set up.  Apples to apples, just 1 month apart.  Also the temp for the ESC on v3.13 may be a little low from actual.  Not much tough.  

V3.13/v2.13
Battery temp - 120
Motor temp - 122
ESC temp - 97
Mah used - 2422
Amps ave - 23.32
Min Volts - 13.83

V3.22/v3.0
Battery temp - 123
Motor temp - 122
ESC temp - 104
Mah used - 2465
Amps ave - 23.91
Min Volts - 13.76

Was the ESC a Phoenix 45?

Crist,

Looking at the CC web site it indicates that they added a "Punch Control" for acceleration, could we somehow use this to give the little pop out of a corner?

Best,                  DennisT

The best to know is to fly it and see.  Not much flying going on around here.
